Stockton firefighters said they’ve been forced to build a fence around a memorial for fallen firefighters that keeps getting vandalized.
The Fallen Firefighters Memorial is meant to honor those who’ve died in the line of duty.
The memorial has been vandalized multiple times this year.
“We are deeply saddened that it has come to this; knowing that the fence lessens the beauty and honor of the Monument. But we have to protect this (hallowed) ground. When a solution is found and the Monument is fixed, we will let everyone know. We want nothing more than to honor correctly those firefighters who made the ultimate sacrifice. Rest In Peace Brothers,” Stockton Firefighters Local 456 wrote in a Facebook post.
